Specification of Letters Eatent.

Patented Sept. 23, 1919.

Application filed February 7, 1918. Serial No. 215,744.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NELLIE BoLANn-PInRon, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bust- Supports, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to bust supports and the object of my invention is to construct a bust support that will combine comfort and convenience and which may be attached to the top of any corset by sewing. Other features of my invention will appear in the specification and drawings.

I obtain this object by means of a bust support constructed as shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front view of a corset with my bust support attached thereto.

' Fig. 2 is a back view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one shoulder strap.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A represents an ordinary corset. B, B are fitted shoulder straps in six pieces, two in the front and four in the back, to be cut straight on one edge and partially bias on the other. Join two partially bias pieces, as indicated in drawing, for each back shoulder strap. C, C are connecting pieces cut wider at the bottom than at the top and joined to the lower partially bias edge of the front shoulder straps and fastened together, at the top and near the middle, by means of tapes that may be tied tightly or loosely soas to confine and support the bust.

D is a connecting tape to connect the straps at the back and. prevent slipping off the shoulders. E, E is a dart in the front portion of the straps to make them fit the bust. F, F is a short iece of elastic I insert in the shoulders to give freedom of movement.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A bust supporter comprising two parts of inelastic material each part adapted to be secured to the top of the upper edge of one-half of a corset in front and extending upwardly over the shoulders and permanently secured to each half of the top of a corset in the back and separated from each other in the back, from the top of the corset upwardly to the shoulders and downwardly to the bust, and in the front said inelastic parts shaped to form a bust support, said bust supporter detachably and adjustably connected together from the top edge of the corset upwardly over the bust.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.

NELLIE BOLAND-PIERCE.
